COMBINED EXTENSION SHOW-TABLE AND BEDSTEAD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 462,165, dated October 27, 1891.

Application filed November 10, 1890. Serial No. 370,885. (No model.)

'where, for .the lack of-suflicient room, itis desirable to combine sleeping accommodation with a show-table.

The object of my invention is to provide commercial travelers or drummers with a large show-table for the display of their goods, having combined therewith a concealed bedstead, so as to impart a show-room appearance to the room during business hours, while at other times the room can be utilized as a sleeping-apartment.

Reference is made to another application of even date herewith, Serial No. 370,884, in which are shown, described, and claimed certain features of construction shown and described in this application.

My improvement consists in certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter described and claimed.

In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure I is a front elevation of my com; bined extension show-table and bedstead. Fig. II is a central vertical longitudinal section thereof. Fig. III is an under side View of the upper sliding extension or shelf. Fig. IV is an under side view of the lower sliding extension or shelf. Fig. V is an end view,

the mirror being omitted and the bedstead being partly drawn out. Fig. VI is a plan view of the structure, the table top and extensions or shelves being omitted and the bedstead being partly drawn out. Fig. VII is a front elevation showing the structure arranged as a show-table. Fig. VIII is a longitudinal section on a larger scale of the outer end of a bracket and the outer end of an arm, showing the hook end of the arm inserted in .the recess of the bracket. Fig. IX

forming a chamber 21.

is a similar View showing the hooked end pressed to its seat in the recess.

1 is the front, 2 the back, 3 4 the ends, and 5 a bottom strip, of a casing providing a sup port for a plane table-top 6, overhanging the front and the ends of the casing. Secured in upright position over the back of the casing is a mirror '7. The casing is mounted on casters 8.

9 are rack-bars secured to the ends 3 4., on the inside of the latter at the base thereof, and arranged with their teeth projecting upwardly, so as to present cogged rails or tracks.

10 is a sliding bed-frame shiftable over the bottom strip, having a suitable bed-bottom 10 and provided with brackets 11 at the back. Journaled in these brackets is a shaft or axle 12, having either fixed or loosely mounted thereon the cog-wheels 13, meshing with the rack-bars. The front of the bed-frame is provided with a hinged door 13 for closing the opening between the latter and the front of the casing.

14. are lugs secured to the back of the bedframe to prevent its entire removal, and 15 are cleats secured to the ends of the casing for retaining the bed-frame in place and the cog-wheels in engagement with the rack-bars. Extending lengthwise of and within the casing, forming an upper compartment 16 therein, and secured to the ends of the casing are strips 17 for supporting upper and lower superposed sliding extensions or shelves 18 19, similar to those shown in my other application hereinbefore referred to. The upper extension or shelf is constructed with a frame 2Q, WVithin this chamber are two transverse strips 22 23, between which is hinged, by means of its cross-bar 24 and plates 25, secured to the strips, a support having arms 26, whose outer hooked ends 27 rest on the lower extension within the compartment. When the upper extension is drawn out, the hooked ends of the arms rest in undercut recesses 28 of the brackets 29, secured to the end 3 of the casing, so as to support the outer portion of the extension. The recesses 28 are of such form as to provide each bracket with an end wall 29 and with a ledge 29", overhanging the under-cuts 29. The hooked ends the hooked ends is prevented in a direction endw1se of the bracket by the hooks coming against the end walls and in an upward direction by the heads of the hooks engaging with the ledges beneath which they seat. The

brackets 29 are formed with inclined channels or grooves 30, by which the ends of the arms are guided into the outer ends of the recesses 28. By merely lifting the outer end of the extension to draw the arms outward and then lifting the arms into the chamber all obstruction to the return of the extension into place will be removed. Secured to the inner end of the edges of the extension are lugs 31, which, coming in contact with the portions 32 of the end 3, will prevent the entire removal of the extension. The lower extension is constructed with a frame 33, forming a chamber 34. Within this chamber are two transverse strips 35 36, between which is hinged, by means of its cross-bar 37 and plates 38, secured to the strip, a support having arms 39, whose outer hooked ends 40 rest on the strips 17 within the compartment. This extension is further provided with wedge-shaped blocks 41, as shown in my other application, hereinbefore referred to, at its inner end, by which it is lifted into the same horizontal plane as the upperextension when drawn out, and also, as an addition thereto,

with pendent lugs 42, which, coming against the end 4 of the casing, prevent the entire withdrawal of the extension.

43 are brackets secured to end 4 of the easing, and are similar to the brackets on the opposite end of thecasin g, being formed with recesses 44 to receive the hooked ends 40 and with channels or grooves 45 for guiding the ends to their seats.

Having thus described my invention, the following is what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. The combination of the casing having the ends 3 4 and table-top 6, the rack-bars 9, secured to the ends of the casing with their teeth projecting upwardly, so as to provide cogged tracks, and the sliding bed-frame 10, having a suitable bed-bottom and provided with rearwardly-extending brackets 11 at the back thereof, and a shaft 12, journaled in the brackets, having cog-wheels 13, meshing with and traveling on the rack-bars, substantially as described.

2. The combination of the casing having the ends 3 4, the table-top 6,, and the front 1, and the sliding bed-frame 10, having a suitable bed-bottom and provided with a hinged door 13 for closing the opening between the bed-frame and the front of the casing, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a casing, of an extension provided with a support formed with a cross-bar and inwardly-projecting arms, and the brackets secured to the casing, having recesses and inclined. guide-grooves leading to the recesses, down which the ends of the arms slide into place when the extension is Withdrawn,substantially as described.

4. The combination of the casing having-a horizontal partition and a table-top forming an upper compartment, the superposed :upper and lower extensions provided with supports, each formed with a cross-bar and'inwardly-projecting arms, andthe brackets secured to the ends of the casing, having reslide into place when the extensions are with-' drawn, substantially as described.

5. The combination, with a casing, of an extension provided with a support formed with a cross-bar and a pair of inwardlyaprojecting arms having hooked ends, and the brackets constructed with recesses and under-cuts, providing end walls and ledges overhanging the under-cuts, the brackets being secured to the casing, and the hooked ends being adapted to engage the recesses and under-cuts of the brackets, substantially as described.

6. The combination of the casing having ends, the brackets secured to the ends, having undercut recesses, the superposed upper and lower extensions provided withsupports, each formed with a cross-bar, and inwardlyprojecting arms having hooked ends adapted to engage in the recesses of the brackets, substantially as described.
